Just before dawn on Sunday, November 20, 1943, Operation Galvanic was launched - the first major amphibious operation against Japanese-held islands. Over 100,000 men and the largest assembly of warships in hisotry were in place off islands shielded by razor-sharp barriers reefs. An easy and "glorious" victory was anticipated in this battle, the symbolic first step toward Tokyo.. Hard Cover/Boards. Very Good++/Very Good+. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
